Dates Energy Bars

Why Dates Make A Great Ingredient For Energy Bars?

Dates - The Super Food

Dates are potent superfoods because they contain easily digested minerals and vitamins, and are high in dietary fiber. Plus, dates contain many health-promoting nutrients, such as iron, potassium and vitamins A, B and K. The dietary fiber found in dates helps to reduce harmful cholesterol, promotes waste removal from the colon and binds with substances that contain disease-causing chemicals. The iron contained in dates is used by the body for producing hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells. These cells are required for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Moreover, the vitamin A and B vitamins in dates support eye health and protect against macular degeneration. And finally, the potassium in dates is an electrolyte that helps to regulate blood pressure and heart rate. In short, some of the most prominent health benefits of eating dates include relief from constipation, better bone health, relief from intestinal disorders and anemia, and dates are a great energy booster. If dates aren’t already a big part of your daily consumption, here are some great ways of making dates a part of your everyday life.
